Thanks for your visit. I have a question. Are you living in China right now? Because I have a flag counter, but it hasn't collected the chinese flag, so maybe your IP is located in another country.
I was thinking why there's no chinese people in DA, I was here for almost four months and you're the first (I thought there was censorship).
Oh, and you have very interenting works here. So I "watch" you.
Greetings from Spain.

Diego, I presume?

Hi! You're welcome. I'm happy to see new and interesting work around deviant art.

In answer to your question, I do live in China right now. Xi'an, in Shaanxi province, to be precise.

I think there are a few Chinese people on DA, but perhaps not many. I'm not Chinese (actually a U.S. citizen), but I've lived in China for several years now.

I'm glad you like my drawings. Thanks for watching!

My pleasure.

You know, you have an interesting medium... is it customary for tattoo artists to practice on pig skin? Is it particularly challenging?

Your lotus design interests me, also. I've been thinking about lotus patterns for a possible tattoo for my friend.

Rieter In reply to unshakentomato [2009-02-12 17:23:25 +0000 UTC]

there is a special "fake skin" to practice on. it looks like plastic and is very expensive. pigskin is very similiar to human skin and it is free! but it is a bit stinky haha

will you show me your lotus design when its finished? I am curious

I've sketched a few different designs, ranging from more symbolic/abstract to realistic. Mostly I'm looking at traditional Chinese and Tibetan images, but haven't really put much time into it.

I'll post the most recent one.

Your sister went to Mills? that's very cool! It's always exciting to hear of people who've been there! I am no longer a student there but I work as a volunteer TA in the Book Arts program.

Just read that you're moving to China, that is beyond cool! Good luck in your new home!

Good luck as a TJ. I've just begun teaching literature and it's a tough gig. Hopefully I'll find some time for art-making.
